Is it really that?


I have never read the book.

Is this just a bad picture?

If you have never read the book. Never gave a shit about Netflix. Or Rolling Stone. Or the New York Times...

is it really that bad??

reply

I didn't read the book and had no heard about it until I saw the adds for this movie.

I don't understand why Rolling Stones or the New York Times have to do with it, nor do I really understand why caring about Netflix would matter.

With that said, yes this movie is that bad.

Wow. This is a Ron Howard Picture.

He's an Academy Award winner. He's one of the biggest box office directors on the planet.

And I get Netflix for free.

Sure you do.. they control the hierarchy top two tier movie reviews left on the planet.

Gene is dead.
Roger is dead.

...

Siskel & Ebert! Remember them?

And if the top two billion dollar empire don't agree with you because you've never read "Rolling Stone" or heard of "The New York Times", then surly the Youtube amateur all "stars" agree the film sucks!

Shouldn't I at least watch it for 15 minutes before I turn it off???

Or is just that bad?

"Wow. This is a Ron Howard Picture."

Most of Ron Howard's movies are lousy..

" And I get Netflix for free. Shouldn't I at least watch it for 15 minutes before I turn it off? Or is just that bad?"

It is that bad. It has no redeeming qualities The only reason I finished it is because of the pandemic so what else is there to do?

I suspect taking elegant women like Close and Adams and trying to portray them as "hillbillies" was a bad idea from the start.
Maybe it would work as a stage play, I'm not sure, but I often prefer to see fresh faces when presented with challenging material, as with the neorealism of the post WW2 Italian film period.
Idk, the whole thing sounded like a bad idea from the git-go.
